Hello, All ~

Coordinating with the passing of my dog, "Sunshine", 12 years ago, "Puppy"...my F-150 truck...ceased functioning on the same date: April 28.

The on-board computer code indicates there is trouble with the fuel pump, which is inside the gas tank. Years of rust make it rather impractical to keep putting money into Puppy. Just the rust is enough to reject it for State inspection.

This was my "sobriety" truck: I bought it about the same time I joined Alcoholics Anonymous, and he took me to many a meeting. He also hauled no fewer than 600 - 80-pound bags of concrete (20 bags per load) to build the bridges here at the farm. He could go through 16 inches of snow, and often did. No telling how many materials he delivered to here and other job sites.

I drove this truck for nearly 10 years.

Offered up for sale for $500 I had an immediate taker. So Puppy may continue down Life's Highway, regardless of the chemicals VDOT puts on winter roads. I'll be glad to see him still thumpin' down the road, but no doubt I'll miss the Big Guy.

My little D-50 continues to get me around, though I'll be looking for a new, full-sized truck.

Thanks for listening ~

Roy
